[Hokage] I don't need that kind of thing at all

The third round of the Chunin Selection Exam is just around the corner, and every day, sedan chairs of daimyos from other countries pass by on Konoha's main road.Contrary to the nervousness of the ninja candidates who have advanced, most of the other people in the village are extremely excited about the upcoming exams.

In the last two days before the official exam, Uchiha Itachi forbade Mizuki Ibuki from using advanced ninjutsu that consumes too much Chakra.In order not to reduce the flexibility of the body while recharging energy, Uchiha Itachi sparred with Mizuki Ibuki from time to time.

Mizuki Ibuki's battle was late, and he had no chance to play under the Konoha destruction plan, but after realizing Uchiha Itachi's thoughtfulness and carefulness, he accepted the opponent's arrangement cooperatively.

The real purpose of Uchiha Itachi personally guiding him to practice is not just to ensure that he can pass the Chunin selection exam smoothly, but the most important thing is to allow Mizuki Ibuki to better protect himself in the future.

"this is for you."

On the morning of the exam, Mizuki Ibuki saw Itachi Uchiha standing outside the French window just after washing, and was a little surprised that he would come to the apartment on his own initiative.He opened the window and walked into the balcony, took the scroll handed by the other party, raised his head and asked in doubt: "What's inside?"

"Take it as a late birthday present." Itachi Uchiha glanced at the black pendant hanging on Mizuki Ibuki's neck, looked at him, and told him: "In the future, if you encounter difficulties that you cannot overcome, you can Unlocking its seal may be able to help you."

Unlock the seal?Is there ninjutsu in it?

Mizuki Ibuki twirled the scroll between his fingers: "Did you disappear for a few days just to bring this?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

Three days after his birthday, Uchiha Itachi didn't show up at the place where he practiced. Mizuki Ibuki originally thought that his chakra had reached its limit, but he didn't expect that it was the deity who wanted to send this scroll.

Mizuki Ibuki put the scroll into the ninja bag, checked the personal belongings again, then tied the forehead protector, picked up Yoko who just wanted to stay at home drunk and dreamed, and walked to the examination venue accompanied by Uchiha Itachi.

Fortunately, in addition to the villagers of Konohamoto Village who came to watch the game, there were also some spectators from other countries. Uchiha Itachi, who put on a dark hood and cloak, could easily enter the venue.

High walls surrounded the playing field, and crowds of people lined up in the auditorium.As the examinees gradually appeared, the cheers became loud, and Mizuki Ibuki, who had no motivation at all, felt that the blood in his whole body was burning together.

A total of nine candidates advanced to the third exam, and only eight candidates appeared in the middle of the examination room, and Uchiha Sasuke was temporarily absent as expected.

Almost at the same time that Kazekage landed next to Hiruzame Sarutobi, who was the third Hokage-sama, a gaze as if staring at a prey stuck to Mizuki Ibuki's body.

Mizuki Ibuki still turned her head and chatted with Uzumaki Naruto with a smile, but secretly squeezed the fingers under the sleeve tightly.

"Dear guests, I sincerely thank you for coming to watch the Chunin selection exam held by Konoha." Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a step forward, with his hands behind his back as usual. "Next, the nine contestants who have passed the preliminary selection will conduct a formal selection competition."

As the chief examiner of the official selection examination, Special Kaminoshi Shiranui Genma took out the list of the battle teams and started it. Mizuki Ibuki was startled, and found that Konoha's senior management had deliberately removed his surname. Then he thought that this was also to avoid unnecessary confusion among the people of various countries. The commotion, turned to smile.

After repeating the rules similar to those of the second exam, Genma Shiranui withdrew the list: "The first round will start next, Naruto Uzumaki and Neiji Hyuga. Except for these two people, the others will wait in the waiting room. "

Mizuki Ibuki lightly tapped Naruto Uzumaki's shoulder with his fist, then followed the others and left the field.After going up two floors along the steps, Mizuki Ibuki turned around and walked to the railing at the end of the corridor.

Mizuki Yibuki walked to a young man wearing a dark cloak, and looked around: "Where is Ye Man?"

Uchiha Itachi reached out and lifted the edge of the hood up: "Go find a quiet place to sleep."

"That guy... really!" Mizuki Yibuki frowned and sighed helplessly. He wanted to use Yekan as an effective labor force for sand ninja operations, but he didn't expect that the other party couldn't get rid of his lazy bones at all.He put his elbows on the fence and leaned forward slightly: "You found out, that person."

Uchiha Itachi shifted his gaze from Mizuki Ibuki to the seat in the venue with the "No. [-] in the World" plaque, and nodded.

"If I'm not wrong, he must be trying to cause some disturbance in Konoha." Mizuki Ibuki thought about his words, and euphemistically passed the information he knew to Uchiha Itachi. "Since he can disguise himself as Kazekage, maybe even Sand Ninja can use it."

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then looked at him: "Don't approach him."

"Because I'm one of his targets?" Mizuki Ibuki followed the battle situation below.

"He won't attack you for the time being." Uchiha Itachi's voice was very soft, but there was an obvious sense of affirmation in his tone.

Hearing his words, Mizuki Ibuki suddenly remembered the words "deal" and "regret" that Orochimaru said during the second exam. He turned his head and looked at Uchiha Itachi: "During the second exam, Was there an agreement with him?"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes, acquiescing to his guess.

Mizuki Ibuki frowned, even if an agreement was really reached, when they met Orochimaru again, the other party meant to regret it.

"Sasuke can use him to grow quickly, but..." Uchiha Itachi paused. "These are not things you have to go through."

Mizuki Ibuki and Uchiha Itachi's calm gazes met, and they involuntarily clenched the railings under their hands.

"Ibuki, you can grow up slowly." Itachi Uchiha gently raised the corners of his lips, and raised his hand to cover the top of Mizuki Ibuki's hair. "The experience of more than ten years is enough for you."

As the remnant descendant of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sasuke is different from Mizuki Ibuki who is in exile. He needs to get rid of the control and surveillance of Konoha's senior management as soon as possible, and have enough strength to gain a foothold.

More importantly, his growth rate must keep up with the rate at which Uchiha Itachi's illness worsened.

Mizuki Ibuki looked at his smiling eyes, felt sore from the gentle gaze, and said, "Aren't you worried that Sasuke will die in his hands?"

Even though he already knew that Uchiha Sasuke would kill Orochimaru smoothly in the end, once things happened before his eyes, he couldn't be completely relieved anyway.

"He won't." Uchiha Itachi replied with a smile, ruffling his hair back and forth. "As long as you're here, as long as you don't kill me, he won't die."

Mizuki Ibuki only felt that his heart was blocked by a mass of soaked sea surface. Every time he faced Uchiha Itachi, whenever he talked about Sasuke, he felt distressed and sad.

Uchiha Itachi was about to take back his hand, but Mizuki Ibuki who was lying on the fence just now straightened up suddenly, turned his face, and slammed directly into his arms. This sudden force made Uchiha Itachi back a little. half a step.

"What's wrong?" Uchiha Itachi let him hold him, wrapping his arms around his back.Ever since the Chunin Exam officially started, this kid always seems to like to treat him...acting like a baby?In any case, this is something that makes him feel sincerely happy.

Uchiha Itachi's voice is extremely gentle, but this kind of gentleness like cheating will make people want to cry.

Mizuki Yibuki wrapped his arms around his waist tightly, buried his head on his chest and rubbed it lightly: "No, I just want to hug you."

Uchiha Itachi's chest trembled, and he couldn't help laughing: "Okay."

There was tolerance and pampering in his voice that he didn't even realize.

The author has something to say: The transitional chapter is too difficult to write... (vomiting blood) The third exam is my nightmare! !

The following plot is probably imagined, only this part, my mind is blank.
